One Method Mastered, a Hundred Methods Understood! Lei Kuang, Thunder City Martial Soul Hall Branch Master!

After learning Sky Fox Assault, Hu Bai had a sudden idea. This Self-Created Soul Skill could also be applied to the Lightning Element!

The Light Element version of Sky Fox Assault had knockback and purification effects.

What about the Lightning Element version of Sky Fox Assault?

It would most likely have knockback, defense-breaking, and paralysis effects!

Among all the elements, if one were to ask which had the strongest piercing power, it had to be the Lightning Element!

After learning of Hu Bai's idea, Qian Daoliu was shocked at first, but then felt gratified.

He also realized that Hu Bai did not actually need to worry about learning the applications of so many elements. As long as he grasped their essence, many elemental Soul Skills could be converted into one another.

In fact, this had been evident from the very beginning. Light Balls, Lightning Balls, Fireballs—weren't they all elemental balls condensed from Elemental Power and used to attack?

Sky Fox Assault was the same. Attacking with different attributes would produce different effects.

After mastering the first version, Hu Bai did not spend seven days on the Lightning Element version of Sky Fox Assault this time. In less than three days, he had successfully improved it completely!

Because his daily workload was so demanding, Hu Bai slept directly at night rather than using meditation as a substitute for rest. Only then could he recover his stamina better.

And even if he meditated all night, so what? It would only add a little Soul Power. It was far better to cultivate with full concentration after dinner at night and gain more.

His talent was already quite good. There was no need for him to push himself so hard in the middle of the night.

Of course, the main reason was that he truly needed to recover his stamina this way. Creating Soul Skills consumed a great deal of mental energy.

Moreover, he did not know whether it was just his imagination, but after more than ten days, he felt that his control over the Lightning Element and Light Element had become smoother. And he did not know whether it was his imagination, but the power of his Lightning Element seemed to have grown a little stronger!

Of course, Hu Bai did not know that whenever he fell into deep sleep, the Lightning Element and Light Element around him would become exceptionally lively and surge into his body—or rather, into his Soul Rings.

Hu Bai did not know whether it was merely his imagination, so he planned to observe for a while longer. If it was not, then he would have to ask Bibi Dong or Qian Daoliu about it.

Even though he knew the plot, he had no idea what was happening.

And today, the Branch Hall Master with a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul had finally handed over all his duties to the deputy Branch Hall Master and rushed back from Thunder City in the Heaven Dou Empire.

Inside the Pope's Palace.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue knelt on one knee before Bibi Dong. "Lei Kuang, Thunder City Martial Soul Hall Branch Master, greets His Holiness the Pope!"

Bibi Dong nodded. "Lei Kuang, I called you back because I have something to assign you. I need you to be my disciple's teacher for a time and teach him the various applications of the Lightning Element."

Lei Kuang: ???

When had His Holiness the Pope gained a disciple? How had he not known?

He had known nothing about why Bibi Dong had summoned him back. He had thought she had some major mission for him, which was why he had hurried back.

"Your Holiness, when did you take a disciple? How would you like me to teach him?" As he spoke, Lei Kuang's gaze had already fallen upon the handsome man with snow-white long hair standing beside Bibi Dong. Yet this person's appearance... why did he feel strangely familiar?

Bibi Dong gave Hu Bai a look. Hu Bai stepped forward, slightly bowed, and offered Lei Kuang a polite salute. "Greetings, Lord Lei. My name is Hu Bai. I have Innate Full Soul Power, and my Martial Soul is the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox. Teacher accepted me as a disciple over a month ago."

Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox?

His surname was Hu?

Lei Kuang thought of something. "Is your father Xie Tian, and is your mother named Hu Leyao?"

Hu Bai's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Lord Lei, do you know my parents?"

"Hahaha, so you're that brat Xie Tian's son! Back when I was still at the main hall, I went on several missions with your parents. After I was transferred to Thunder City, we had much less contact. Just call me Uncle Lei."

However, Lei Kuang soon became puzzled and looked at Bibi Dong. "Your Holiness, since his Martial Soul is a mutated Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, shouldn't he be learning Mental Control? Why have you asked me to teach him the Lightning Element?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clearly appeared to have mutated from the Demon Fox Martial Soul. His Innate Full Soul Power had shocked Lei Kuang, but by ingrained assumptions, shouldn't he be learning Mental Control and Charm?

Bibi Dong said nothing. Instead, a powerful surge of Lightning Power emerged from Hu Bai and wrapped around his body, while his two Soul Rings appeared.

One yellow and one purple!

What kind of Soul Ring configuration was that?

The effects of Whale Rubber were still a secret within Spirit Hall and had not been spread outside. Even a Branch Hall Master like him did not know about it yet.

Spirit Hall's stockpile was limited, and for the time being, it could not provide large quantities of high-year Whale Rubber for talented people to consume. Thus, it secretly selected a few talented individuals for training and strictly ordered them not to reveal it.

Among these geniuses, aside from Hu Bai and the other two, there were the remaining five members of the Spirit Hall Team from the original story, led by Yan.

Of course, Xie Yue had originally been the leader among the lower-year students, but Xie Yue had not been going to the Academy lately. Yan had directly become the most talented and strongest.

Lei Kuang was stunned by the sight. Only then did Bibi Dong explain, "Hu Bai's Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox is not a simple Martial Soul Mutation, but the rarer Bloodline Ancestral Return. His abilities are not limited to Charm; he also possesses Elemental Affinity.

As you can see, he can control the Lightning Element. Not only that, he can also control the Light, Water, Fire, Metal, Space, and many other naturally existing forms of Elemental Power. He currently intends to follow the path of All Elements. This means his Soul Rings cannot grant him effective Soul Skills and can only purely amplify his elemental power, which is why I need you to teach him.

I hope you can teach him to the best of your ability. Spirit Hall will reward you according to the circumstances. For example... when your cultivation reaches Level Ninety, Spirit Hall will dispatch a Titled Douluo to personally hunt the Soul Beast most suitable for you. And you should also be interested in why my disciple's Second Soul Ring is Thousand-Year, correct?"

A Titled Douluo would help hunt a Soul Beast?

Although he did not know how many more years it would take for him to advance to Titled Douluo, with such a promise, when he received his title, he should at least be able to obtain a Ninth Ring of around Eighty Thousand Years, right?

As for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, he did not dare to dream of it.

As for why the Second Soul Ring was Thousand-Year, he truly was curious. Then, after Bibi Dong told him, he learned that it was because of Whale Rubber!

"Yes, Your Holiness. I will certainly do my utmost!" Lei Kuang said respectfully.

"Oh, right. Lightning Attribute Self-Created Soul Skills are actually secondary. The key lies in Lightning Body Tempering. He wishes to use lightning to temper his body, but this method is far too dangerous. As a Soul Douluo with a Lightning Attribute Martial Soul, you surely have some insights into controlling lightning. While protecting him, I hope you can also pass on some cultivation experience to him."
